I will tell you a true story that happen several years ago. I had a dear friend, who was in a bad car accident. she was in the Intensive Care Unit and I could not go to her. I cried out to God for help! I ask Him to give her a Hug and touch her body. He gave me a Hug. Yes! God gave me the best holy loving hug of my life. I am a happy married wife of a great husband but I have never had that much love in a hug before. If i had died that minute it would have been OK! To be so loved it beyond any words. John 3:15-20

Isaiah 40 :28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
